Congrats! Test drove both a Boss 302 and ISF a few years back at Carmax. Both cars were great and fast, but to me, the ISF felt a bit faster. After a year passed and I've given it a lot of thought,, I decided to pick up a Boss 302 instead. The car was more raw, also I didn't need all the luxury features and preferred rowing my own gears. I sure wouldn't mind adding a ISF to my stable as well.

Congrats man. And I know exactly how you feel about not sleeping. I flew to Houston Tx to get mine and that was a LONG flight.. The drive back was infawkingsane!!!
I'm also in in Sacramento ( Natomas area ) so you are the 4th ISF in this area , Brad , Evan, and myself ( also Evan) ..

I'm going to throw a little mini meet together maybe as early as next weekend so I'll keep you posted. The weather should pass and i think we'll do like lunch and then hit a little drive up 49 or something.

Congrats again and post up some pictures dammit :P

Thanks for all the kind words! I've been telling my GF that I'll go to the store or run errands if she needs me to just to drive this beast! Lol

Great choice. Now go have fun and whip out that credit card for frequent gas station stops.

Be safe and enjoy.
